Very spacious room, bathroom and kitchen. Comfortable, clean, modern finishes with everything you need for a short self-catering stay. Quiet and large property which would be great for children.
The dog is extremely friendly and shares kisses if you pat him -so adorable.

The setting out of town with beautiful gardens were very relaxing. The owner very friendly and helpful. We were upgraded to the honeymoon suite which was great. Will definitely stay here again and highly recommended it for families

Super nice garden around the guest cottages. Terrace perfect to enjoy the sundowner - even it was too cold to do so during our stay. Fully equipped kitchenette with gas oven.

“We had the Rondavel so we had the hole unit for ourselves. The garden is pretty nice and the kitchen is well equipped. Jason is very friendly and gave us some hiking recommendations.”

An Inside Look at Serpentine Manor

Serpentine Manor originally started out as the Manor House of the local dairy. It has been in my family 24 years. I have spent many years working on the garden which features 600 lavender, and the orchard has approx. 120 fruit and nut trees, all on 2 hectares. The rooms were remodelled over the years to suit an old world, upmarket feel. The birdlife is incredible. The old trees like the Cape Yellowwood trees at the entrance provide shelter for the Cape Eagle Owls. We also have Brown Hooded Kingfishers, Paradise Flycatchers, Hadeda Ibis, to name a few of the 40 plus variety of birds I have personally seen on the property. We are close to the river and the Wilderness National Park hiking trails, as well as bird hides. Also great access for the bicycle enthusiast, as we are along many of the biking routes. We also make a great venue for a wedding reception, or a family reunion as all the rooms can be reserved for private use.

Booking.com Guest Review Guidelines

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after it's moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

After a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).
